There's a wall, a wall of pride
Ten feet tall, twenty feet wide
There's a wall, a wall of pride
I'm my father's son
Down to the bone
Generations deep

I'm Mississippi grown
There's a wall, a wall of pride
Like my people before me
I'm proud of what I am
They built the wall of pride
With the work of honest hands

It's not the money
That makes a man
It's not a mystery
To understand
There's a wall, wall of pride
Ten feet tall, twenty feet wide
There's a wall, wall of pride

I say what I mean
I mean what I say
Got to keep on building
A little every day
There's a wall, wall of pride
I'm my father's son
Down to the bone
Generations deep
I'm Mississippi grown
It's not the money
That makes a man
It's not a mystery
To understand

There's a wall, wall of pride
Ten feet tall, twenty feet wide
There's a wall, a wall of pride
Ten feet tall, twenty feet wide
There's a wall, wall of pride
Ten feet tall, twenty feet wide
There's a wall, a wall of pride
There's a wall, a wall of pride
There's a wall, a wall of pride
